While the western hemisphere was sleeping, Kenny Omega and Kazuchika Okada turned in a five-star match at Wrestle Kingdom 11 in Tokyo.
American wrestling fans might not pay much attention to what goes on in New Japan Pro Wrestling, but the main event at the biggest show of the year lived up to the billing. Omega and Okada’s battle for the IWGP Heavyweight Championship belt under the lights at the Tokyo Dome was one of the best you’ll ever see.
In an interview this week with SI.com’s Justin Barrasso, Omega made his case for raising the belt.
